Il Guscio Highbury Restaurant

Absolutely wonderful family oriented Italian restaurant. Friendly service from the moment you enter until the moment you leave satisfied. I have visited many times now sampling many dishes from the refreshingly uncomplicated menu and have never been disappointed. I couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Our football Christmas meal. Service exceptional, Peroni and red wine, food unbelievable and delicious. Staff so friendly, helpful and added to our enjoyment. No wonder it is a local favourite and deserves six stars. Will definitely be back in the New Year. Congratulazioni

So I got the cabaronna which was served well, I would of wanted a bit more cheese myself. Its a very nice quaint place. Quiet when it's just myself and my son. But overall a lovely spot to have dinner and the end of s long day.

I came here for a birthday meal and it was wonderful. Delicious starter and main too full for a dessert! with lovely, fresh and tasty ingredients, plus a good bottle of house red to wash it down. Good value for money, friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant is unpretentious and has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Food, service and atmosphere is brilliant in this little independent Italian restaurant. The pizzas are second-to-none and they do them, and all other dishes, as take away, too! Prices are reasonable and portion-sizes decent. The wine list is good, but beer/cider has limited choice.Food: 5/5

One of my favourite Italian restaurants I have visited in London. Amazing food, so much to choose from. What stood out was the service we received from Carlos and Ali for the food and drinks. They made it such a friendly and fun experience, we felt so welcome and definitely can’t wait to go back. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone based in London.

Amazing, just have a great lunch before going to the Arsenal game. This local Italian restaurant was recommended by a friend who is been coming for years with his family and couldn't be any happier by taking his advice. Highly recommended, great service, fair prices and beautiful food. Keep the hard work Guscio

I do not recommend and won’t come back. We came we friends following the good reviews. Food was really not exiting and poorly executed - I remove 7 table spoons of oil from my pasta! I also got sick all night after. Service was good.

We turned up very late thinking there was a slim chance we might be able to get some pizzas. The staff were so kind and friendly to us and let us sit in to enjoy them. I had the GUSCIO which was delicious. The sausage had lots of flavour and the aubergine tasted great too, all on an authentic base. Ultimately it’s a great vibe and based on the excellent service we were kindly offered I’ll be back again.

I LOVE this place. The atmosphere, the food, the people but most importantly the service, is absolutely brilliant. If you are looking for quality food and excellent service then IL Guscio is the place to visit! You will not be disappointed.
